I feel that maybe there should be a race specific boss. A boss that could be derived from the race's history or "mission", like how the Avian needs to find Kluex, and the human could fight the tentacle creature that took over Earth (maybe that is the supposed "tentacle asteroid" that is going to be a boss). The Hylotl could fight an Agaran leader. I don't know what the rest could be, but i think this would make a good end-game boss, so please provide feedback!
I would love this! I'd love to see humans try and recapture Earth, see the Glitch destroy the hivemind, watch the greatest Apexes uncover the conspiracies behind Big Ape [and possibly fight Big Ape himself?], and everything else which I'm too lazy to think about it.
Whenever I read the starting lore for the different races I always feel like they're building up to something. One of the few sentient Glitches? My quest is to bring sentience to all Glitchkind or something. Florans are ridiculously violent? Start a faction and a separate homeworld for "enlightened" or "trade-minded" Florans. Something like that. Could be one main quest or different 'end results' for each race, and not necessarily a boss, since a lot of the game is already beating people up. Could even be like there are different types of end-goal, and you choose your ending based on different choices you could make. Either you destroy the tentacle monster on Earth, or you [terraform?] create an Earth 2, something like that. [edit] Which I guess is a lot of stuff they need to add, but it also would increase replayability I think. With 2D sandbox games like this (and Terraria for example) I always get comfortable with one character, and never manage to get anywhere with other characters. If they have different optional storylines, that's a whole section of game you can uncover with a new character, instead of just trying to get back up to your weapon-armour comfort level.
I agree completely with you. Maybe there could be a non-violent and a violent finish for each race. The violent could be a giant arena or dungeon where the player fights waves of mini-bosses and regular enemies which all leads up to the final boss. The non-violent could have you create your own "town" for that race sort of like the outposts that are coming out in the next update.
Plus, each race's lore is different enough that I think it wouldn't be the same thing over and over, even though it's a violent/non-violent ending for each race. I think they could really get into something cool for each one. I think this is a great plan o3o
